I didn't mind Juno but I did find it a bit hard to see why it was getting so much attention. It was alright but nothing more. Good soundtrack though, and anyone who can get Shadowcat, J Jonah Jameson and Elektra into the same film deserves a round of applause.

Overhyping a film to me doesn't necessarily mean it's a duff film, just that it's enough already with the promos, interviews, The Fix/ Sky movies pieces, print ads, Mickey D's Happy Meals and blurb a full year in advance..........

Leave some surprises for the paying public!

Couldn't agree more. I thought I'd seen a different film to the majority of the critics and Empire forumites. They saw a modern classic, with wonderful performances, and a heart breaking conclusion. I saw an overlong BBC costume drama, in which Keira Knightley played a posh bird (ooh, big stretch) and an ending that left me completely cold. And another thing, any film that has a cheeky chappy cliched cockney sidekick does not deserve 5 stars!

Smug, unfunny, overhyped tosh. Can someone tell me why this is supposed to be good?

Quirky and independent = masterpiece

**slight spoiler**

ahh see, I dont see how this film can fail to bring a smile to the face. Maybe I was lucky cos I saw it before the hype machine kicked into overdrive, but I really enjoy it. Some great performances, and I think it stays just on the right side of sentimentality. Plus me and my mates love copying Olives final dance when we're out for a boogie..tis most attravctive,... the only thing I felt was a little over the top was keeping the grandads body in the car thing, but it didnt distract from my enjoyment.

Titanic, The Departed, Taxi Driver, Unforgiven, Superman Returns, Once Upon a Time in the West, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, 10,000 B.C., Godzilla, Pearl Harbor and (particularly) Transformers, to name the biggest offenders.

! Its a masterpiece, featuring the two finest actors the world has ever seen pulling off their only recent success. No overhype there

You're entitled to your opinion, as am I. Personally I found the whole film tedious in the extreme. It looks gorgeous and has a decent ending, but as for the preceding 2 hours, I've had more excitement and thrills in a dentist's waiting room. Its clearly a Michael Mann thing as I didn't like Miami Vice either.
